There's no Justice
« on: January 18, 2004, 02:57:04 AM »
What a show today. Tommy D got robbed, he should have won although Weber bowled an incredible match. Playing 2 different lines on each lane is almost impossible to do, that's why he's PDW. Lonnie W what can you say? my heart goes out to him. 2 terrible breaks, On the 1st shot in the 10th and then the spare shot. Best finals of the year so far.

One of the best matches I have ever seen. Oh we were screaming in the bar after the Sunday Morning league watching the last semifinal and final. Many of them were saying "My father is Dick Weber!"

I think the only other gut wrenching match was when Duke beat Walter Ray 300 to 298 I think?  Somone can correct me if I am wrong and probably am.  I know it was down to the last ball.

Are you referring to this match because it wasn't even close.

I am not a PDW fan by any means.  In all actuality
I would rather see anyone win but him. You do have to
recognize is talent and ability though.  He is
just way to cocky in my opinion.......  That being
said I was surprised at how humble he was on tv.  He
knew he got away with one yesterday and he was even
tolerable to watch. I even heard him say on tv "today
I am the luckiest man alive" I did not watch the
presentation of the trophy to him so his attitude
could of been different then but what I saw of the telecast
he seemed almost human.

PDW was very gracious yesterday. He was shocked saddened by what happened to Lonnie.

Justice is a human fabrication intended to make the weak and frail equal to the strong and powerful. Good and evil never enter into the equation. Remmeber, lawyers make an (incredible) living off this, and, in America, anyway, you get as much justice as you can afford.

I hope this show put PDW back on the map to be known as a talented player, with no negatives.  He showed his emotion under control as well as anyone else, yet was entertaining.  As noted by tony, he was very gracious to Lonnie and Tommy, knowing the breaks went his way.  

Don't forget that PDW did not give up, he struck out in both the 10ths to put the pressure on the other guy.

--------------------
Hey, it's not my fault I'm a lefty, I was born this way!


I'd have to disagree.  PDW acted like a whiney baby the whole first match.  He was grabbing the ball at the top of the backswing, decelerating his armswing more than usual, bouncing the ball a third of the time...  He complained about his high 9 pin and his 10 pin, but he gladly took his double dribble strikes.  He had something negative to say almost every frame.  His first two strikes in the 10th looked like he didn't even care, just going through the motions.  He seemed to bear down on the last one.

PDW looked and acted like a champ during the title match.  Positive talk and getting fired up.  The two different lines and balls were definitely impressive.

I'll agree that he didn't seem to make many good shots on the right side but he knew he got away with one when he double-dribbled.  He came back and immitated a jump shot.
